For Immediate Release
Dr. John Lucas, currently Visiting Lecturer in American Studies at Carleton
College, created a little history of his own one evening last week when he presented
a lecture-demonstration to members of the American Studies class and the Carleton
faculty.
The packed house attending the presentation, co-sponsored by the Carleton
Women's Club and the College's American Studies program, expected to hear a lecture
on American jazz accompanied by recordings of current jazz artists, and that they
did.
However, Lucas surprised the group by having two well known guest artists on
hand to help him with the discourse. They were recording artist Doc Evans and
Herb Pilhofer, music director at the Guthrie Theatre, who hold rather opposite
viewpoints on the philosophy of jazz.
In the course of the discussion Lucas suggested the two combine their
philosophy and skill with some musical improvisations. As a result a jazz trio
combination unfolded before the delighted listeners which, had it been recorded,
might have been billed as a "Jazz Composition in Melded Philosophies." Evans played
the horn while Pilhofer improvised piano embellishemnts to a familiar tune, all of
which was held together by the effective drum beat Lucas created on a convenient
chair seat.
Dr. Lucas, long familiar to Carletonites, returned to the campus last fall
after a ten-year absence. He is a graduate of the College, and had taught in the
Department of English for ten years. He has long been an authority on jazz and has
written on the subject for many publications.
Carleton's current American Studies class is making a study of poetry and
speech through sight and sound rather than narrative or drama.
